Middle Branch Poodles

Middle Branch Poodles is a poodle breeder in Canadensis, PA in the Pocono Mountains near Scranton. Loree Guthrie has been dedicated to breeding poodles following health screening and AKC registration for many years.

Puppies are raised in a home setting with daily social interaction, early exposure to household sounds and gentle handling by family members. The kennel uses veterinarian-led health testing to guide pairing decisions and ensure each puppy meets breed standards for temperament and conformation. Health and temperament evaluations include eye tests, cardiac exams and hip screenings guided by breed club recommendations. Litter sizes are kept small to ensure each puppy receives focused attention and socialization.

Middle Branch maintains lines known for balanced temperaments and fine coats, often from parents with recognized titles in conformation or performance events. Their breeding philosophy centers on lifelong well-being, with ongoing support for owners as puppies grow into active companions and therapy dogs.
